Handguns
Smith & Wesson 5906
Gangster Jimmy Dolan (Christian Slater) carries a Smith & Wesson 5906 as his sidearm throughout the film. He most notably wields it during the beginning of the film, killing two of his henchmen.
Smith & Wesson Model 500
Tom Robinson (Wes Bentley) buys and carries a Smith & Wesson Model 500 throughout the latter part of the film. He trains with it several times in the film, planning to avenge his wife's death. Dolan takes the hand cannon from Robinson at one point, but decides to leave the gun to him. Note how this is an extremely poor choice for a first gun, and a pretty expensive and impractical one at that. Robinson only wants the gun because it's "three times as powerful as Dirty Harry's", so as to almost be sure that he would be able to kill Dolan with it. The first time Robinson shoots the gun, it literally knocks him to the ground and the hydrostatic shock from the .50-caliber projectile is so intense that it dislodges part of a dirt hill at the range. It should also be noted that there is a view down the barrel during this scene and there is no rifling present.
Beretta 92FS
Chief (Greg Bryk), Dolan's bodyguard and right hand man carries a Beretta 92FS as his sidearm in the film. Dolan also wields Chief's Beretta near the end of the film.
Smith & Wesson Model 64
When Tom Robinson (Wes Bentley) goes to the gun store, he briefly handles an unidentified stainless steel Smith & Wesson Model 64 revolver (identifiable by the cylinder latch). He considers buying it, but decides against it because he asks for a gun "three times as powerful as Dirty Harry's .44 Magnum Model 29, which is what leads him to the Model 500 in .500 S&W Magnum.
